Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a furniture element, particularly a shelf having at least one storage surface, as described in the preamble of claim 1.
[0002] The present invention also relates to a piece of furniture having such furniture elements and a household appliance. Background Technology
[0003] A type of furniture element is known, for example, from DE 10 2020 124 885 A1.
[0004] These furniture elements are ideal for placement in room corners or as part of furniture corner areas because they can be moved from an initial position to an open or usable position via a combination of rotational and translational movements. This is achieved using translational-rotation fittings, which are mounted on the bottom or top of the furniture element.
[0005] Alternative translational-rotation fittings have fittings that first enable translation from a room corner or furniture corner area, and then enable the corresponding rotational movement of the furniture element.
[0006] To protect this translational-rotation fitting from dust and to prevent hands from entering the area of the fitting when the translational-rotation movement is triggered by hand, these areas are covered by baffles mounted laterally on the top or bottom of the furniture element, between the top side of the furniture element and the bottom side of the cover plate arranged above it and / or between the bottom side of the furniture element and the top side of the furniture base plate arranged below it.
[0007] Another important function of the baffle is to cover the accessories for aesthetic reasons.
[0008] Depending on the height of the translational and rotating fittings being installed, baffles of varying widths must be provided to accommodate different fitting heights and ensure complete lateral coverage of the translational and rotating fittings. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to further develop a furniture component that enables simple assembly even when using translational and rotating components with different component heights.
[0010] This objective is achieved by furniture elements having the features of claim 1.
[0011] This objective is also achieved by furniture having the features of claim 10.
[0012] Furniture elements according to the invention, particularly shelves having at least one storage surface, have a bottom plate and a top plate.
[0013] A translational and rotating fitting is arranged on the bottom side of the base plate facing away from the top plate and / or on the top side of the top plate facing away from the base plate. With the aid of this fitting, the furniture element can move from the initial position to the open end position and return to the initial position in a preferred combination of translational and rotating movements.
[0014] The furniture element also has at least one baffle profile arranged on the edge area of the base plate and / or top plate.
[0015] The baffle profile is fixed by at least one adapter arranged on the bottom side of the base plate or the top side of the top plate.
[0016] The adapter has at least two stops for variably positioning the baffle profile in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the bottom or top plate to laterally cover the translational and rotating fittings having at least two different fitting heights.
[0017] The furniture elements thus constructed allow for easy visual coverage of the translational and rotating fittings mounted on the furniture.
[0018] The different heights of the translational and rotating fittings used in furniture components can be easily covered by the different orientations of the adapters, because the baffles can be fixed at different heights perpendicular to the plane of the bottom or top plate through these different orientations.
[0019] Furthermore, this allows for the use of uniform baffle profiles for different component heights of translational and rotating fittings, as these baffle profiles can be installed on furniture elements in a variable positioning manner via adapters to adapt to the component height of the translational and rotating fittings.
[0020] Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are the subject of the appended claims.
[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment, the at least one baffle profile is generally bent into a U-shape and has an outer baffle leg, an inner positioning leg, and a mounting leg disposed between the baffle leg and the positioning leg, connected to the baffle leg via a transverse web, and forming a U-shaped receiving portion with the positioning leg. In an alternative embodiment, the baffle profile may be generally configured as an L-shape or an I-shape.
[0022] This makes the assembly of the baffle profile on the adapter extremely simple.
[0023] According to an advantageous further improvement, the at least one adapter has an adapter base and a support extending vertically from the adapter base, the baffle profile being able to fit onto the support with its U-shaped receiving portion.
[0024] On the two opposite sides of the support body, grooves are formed at different heights perpendicular to the plane of the bottom or top plate. These grooves are used to support the positioning legs of the baffle profile, so that the baffle profile can be adapted to the height of the sliding and rotating fittings and installed on the furniture element according to the orientation of the adapter.
[0025] According to another advantageous configuration, a first groove is formed between the support and the web formed at the base edge of the adapter.
[0026] The support body is preferably formed in a general L-shape, wherein the second groove is formed on the side of the support body opposite to the first groove, between the side of the long leg of the support body and the web formed at the end of the short leg of the support body.
[0027] Alternatively, further grooves at other support heights can be formed on one or two other opposing sides of the support.
[0028] According to another advantageous embodiment, a transverse groove is formed on the side of the long leg of the support body at a predetermined distance from the corresponding recess. The transverse groove is used to receive screws to attach and secure the baffle profile to the support body. The chamfered boundary walls of the transverse groove are used to compensate for manufacturing tolerances by pulling the baffle profile toward the support body when the screws are tightened.
[0029] According to another advantageous embodiment, the height of the baffle leg, viewed in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the long leg of the support body, is greater than the maximum accessory height of the usable translational and rotating accessory, wherein the free end of the baffle leg rests against the side of the base plate or top plate in the assembled state, or terminates at the height of the side of the base plate or top plate.
[0030] For further stability, furniture components preferably have at least one profile component fixed between the base plate and the top plate.
[0031] The furniture according to the invention has a furniture body and furniture elements rotatably supported in the furniture body, characterized in that the furniture elements are of the type described above.
[0032] Similarly, household appliances according to the invention, such as refrigeration equipment, have a main body and equipment elements rotatably supported in the main body, wherein the equipment elements are configured as furniture elements of the type described above.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] In the following description of the accompanying drawings, terms such as above, below, left, right, front, and back refer only to exemplary positions and arrangements of furniture elements, baseboards, topboards, adapters, baffle profiles, etc., selected in the exemplary representations of the various drawings. These terms should not be construed as limiting, i.e., these relationships may change through different working positions or mirror-symmetric arrangements, etc.
[0036] exist Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 2 In the accompanying drawings, reference numeral 12 generally indicates an embodiment of a furniture element according to the invention. In the embodiment shown here, the furniture element 12 is constructed as a shelf with three storage planes. The furniture element and body here have a polygonal cross-section, particularly a cuboid shape.
[0037] like Figure 1a and Figure 2 As can be clearly seen, furniture element 12 has a base plate 2 and a top plate 3, as well as a plurality of profile elements 19 fixed thereon between the base plate 2 and the top plate 3.
[0038] In the furniture element 12 shown here, the base plate 2 and the top plate 3 are further connected to each other by two side walls 17 arranged at right angles to each other.
[0039] Furniture components can also be constructed without profiles. Figure 1bThe corresponding furniture element 12 is shown in the figure.
[0040] Furniture can also be constructed as a frame structure without side walls, or it can have three side walls.
[0041] To stabilize Figure 1 and Figure 2 The furniture element 12 shown includes a base plate 2, a top plate 3, and a shelf 18 arranged between the two in the front corner area. In the illustrated embodiment, a profile element 19 is provided.
[0042] Profile element 19 is also advantageously used as a handle so that the cuboid furniture element 12 can be moved by means of the combined translational and rotational movements specified by translational and rotational fitting 4.
[0043] This translational-rotational accessory 4 is arranged on the bottom side of the base plate 2 facing away from the top plate 3 and / or on the top side 31 of the top plate 3 facing away from the base plate 2. In this embodiment, an accessory with combined translational-rotational motion is involved.
[0044] Alternative translational-rotation fittings have fittings that first enable translation from a room corner or furniture corner area, and then enable the corresponding rotational movement of the furniture element.
[0045] With the aid of translational-rotation accessory 4 or translational-rotation accessory 4, furniture element 12 can move in combination with translational-rotational motion from Figure 25 The initial position shown in the example is moved to Figure 28 The process is shown to open the endpoint position and return to the initial position.
[0046] Furniture component 12, preferably furniture 10 or household appliance, synchronous translational and rotational motion, such as Figures 25 to 28 As exemplarily shown, in this process, the body 11 of the furniture 10 is at least partially forced to move along one of two opposite rotational directions R1, R2 and along a predetermined translational direction A.
[0047] The household appliance according to the invention can be, for example, a wine cabinet or a general refrigeration device. Such a household appliance also has a main body and equipment elements rotatably supported within the main body, wherein the equipment elements correspond to furniture elements 12 of the furniture 10, which are connected to the main body of the household appliance via translational rotation fittings 4.
[0048] In this embodiment, the translational and rotating accessory 4 basically has a first accessory plate 41 that can be fixed to the top 14 of the first body 11, and a second accessory plate 42 that can be fixed to the top plate 3 of the furniture element 12 and can simultaneously perform translational and rotational movements relative to the first accessory plate 41.
[0049] Furthermore, the translational and rotary fitting 4 also has a linear guide 44 arranged on the first fitting plate 2, which has at least one (in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, there are two first guide rails and second guide rails, each capable of moving along the first guide rail in the translation direction A.
[0050] The translational and rotating component 4 also has a rotary bearing 45, which has a first rotary bearing portion fixedly arranged on the linear guide rail 44, a second rotary bearing portion arranged on the second component plate 42, and a rolling bearing (not shown) arranged between the two rotary bearing portions.
[0051] In addition, a guide element (not shown here) is fixed on the first accessory plate 2, preferably in the form of a guide wheel that can rotate about a vertical axis (i.e., an axis extending in the Z direction), and this guide element is guided in the second accessory plate 42, in particular in the formed guide rail 43.
[0052] Translational and rotary components can also have another motion control method, such as having rolling or sliding bodies guided in the running track, or having linkages, or being achieved through a drive device.
[0053] Figure 26 and Figure 27 The movement process of the translational and rotational motion of furniture element 12 is shown to further illustrate the exemplary intermediate position of furniture element 12, which is installed in the body 11 of furniture 10.
[0054] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As further shown, the furniture element 12 has at least one baffle profile 5 arranged on the sides 22, 32 of the base plate 2 and / or the top plate 3.
[0055] The baffle profile 5 or more baffle profiles 5 are fixed by at least one adapter 6 arranged on the bottom side of the base plate 2 or the top side 31 of the top plate 3.
[0056] The baffle profile 5 is used to laterally cover the space between the top side 31 of the top plate 3 and the top 14 of the furniture 10, or the space between the bottom side of the bottom plate 2 and the bottom plate 13 of the furniture 10, in which the translational and rotating fitting 4 is arranged.
[0057] Since the translational rotation component 4 can have different component heights according to the load-bearing requirements of the translational rotation component 4, the height dimension of the baffle profile 5 is determined to be such that the baffle profile 5 can cover the translational rotation component 4 with different component heights, and when using the translational rotation component 4 with a specific component height, the baffle profile 5 can be installed on the base plate 2 or the top plate 3 with a corresponding height offset.
[0058] For this purpose, the adapter 6 has at least two stops 61 and 62 for variably positioning the baffle profile 5 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the bottom plate or top plate 2 and 3.
[0059] To accommodate different component heights of the translation and rotation fitting 4 used, the adapter 6 simply needs to be fixed to the base plate 2 or top plate 3 in the corresponding orientation, such as... Figures 3 to 6 and Figures 7 to 10 The comparison example is shown below.
[0060] exist Figures 3 to 6 In the middle, the orientation of the adapter 6 makes the baffle profile 5 laterally cover the translational rotation accessory 4 with a smaller height.
[0061] exist Figures 7 to 10 In the embodiment shown, the adapter 6 is fixed to the top plate 3 by rotating 180° about the vertical axis, thereby enabling the baffle profile 5 to be fixed in such a way that it covers the large remaining gap between the top plate 3 and the top 14 along the Z direction.
[0062] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the at least one baffle profile 5 is generally bent into a U-shape.
[0063] The baffle profile 5 has an outer baffle support leg 51 visible in the assembled state, an inner positioning support leg 52, and a mounting support leg 53 arranged between the baffle support leg 51 and the positioning support leg 52, connected to the baffle support leg 51 through a transverse web 56, and forming a U-shaped receiving portion 54 with the positioning support leg 52.
[0064] like Figure 23a to Figure 23d As shown, the at least one adapter 8 has an adapter base 63 and a support 64 extending vertically from the adapter base 63 along the Z direction.
[0065] The baffle profile 5 can be fitted onto the support body 64 with its U-shaped receiving portion 54, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown in the example.
[0066] The stops 61 and 62 are formed on opposite sides of the support 64 at different heights in the Z direction perpendicular to the plane of the bottom plate or top plate 2 and 3.
[0067] Stops 61 and 62 are used to support the positioning legs 52 of the corresponding baffle profile 5, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 9 It is also clearly visible in the middle.
[0068] The stop portions 61 and 62 are preferably constructed as grooves.
[0069] like Figure 23a to Figure 23d As shown, a groove forming the first stop portion 61 is formed between the support body 64 and the web 66 formed at the edge of the adapter base portion 63.
[0070] The support 64 itself is roughly L-shaped when viewed in a vertical plane.
[0071] The groove that forms the second stop 62 is formed on the side of the support 64 opposite to the first stop 61, between the side 643 of the long leg 641 of the support 64 and the web 67 formed at the end of the short leg 642 of the support 64.
[0072] The adapter may also have other shapes to form, for example, a further stop in the height region between the first stop 61 and the second stop 62, to achieve a better match between the height of the baffle profile and the height of the fitting.
[0073] like Figure 23a to Figure 23d As further shown, a transverse groove 65 is formed on the side 643 of the long leg 641 of the support body 64 at a predetermined distance from the corresponding stop portions 61 and 62.
[0074] The height of the baffle leg 51, viewed along the longitudinal direction of the long support leg 641 parallel to the support body 64, is greater than the maximum accessory height of the usable translational and rotating accessory 4.
[0075] The free end 55 of the baffle support leg 51 rests against the sides 22 and 32 of the base plate or top plate 2 or 3 in the assembled state, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0076] Alternatively, the free end 55 of the baffle leg 51 can terminate at the height of the side 22, 32 of the bottom plate or top plate 2, 3, instead of directly abutting against the side 22, 32.
[0077] like Figure 11a and Figure 11b as well as Figure 12a and Figure 12b As shown, in order to accommodate shelves 18 of different material thicknesses, clamping elements 16 with lateral covering portions are inserted into the front end of the profile element 19. These clamping elements cover the corresponding shelves 18 from both sides, thereby ensuring the reliable holding of the profile element 19. Figure 2 As can be seen, the cover plate profile 15 is fixed to the profile element 19 by the retaining element 9.
[0078] The clamping of the shelf 18 by the clamping element 16 also makes it possible to install the shelf 18 in cases where the material thickness (thickness in the Z direction) is different.
[0079] like Figure 11b and Figure 12bAs shown, after the profile element 19 is installed on the base plate 2, the top plate 3 and the shelf 18, it is preferably covered by the profile element baffle 15.
[0080] In the illustrated embodiment, the profile element baffle 15 is configured as a strip that extends continuously from the bottom plate 2 to the top plate 3.
[0081] In addition, such as Figures 15 to 18 As exemplarily shown, in the corner area of the base plate 2 and / or the top plate 3, in order to fix the profile element baffle 15 onto the adapter 6 arranged in the corner area, a plug-in 7 and a retaining element 9 for the cover plate profile 15 are sleeved to hold and align the profile element baffle 15 and the corresponding baffle profile 5, such as... Figure 18 As shown in the example.
[0082] Figure 24a and Figure 24b It shows the use of Figure 1b An alternative embodiment of the connector 7' of the furniture element 12 without the vertical profile element 19 shown, wherein the connector 7' has a smooth visible side on its outwardly visible wall side.
[0083] The adapter 6 is preferably fixed to the top side of the top plate 3 or the bottom side of the bottom plate 2 by screws. Adhesive bonding, snap-fit, or form-locking connection between the adapter 6 and the bottom plate 2 or the top plate 3 may also be considered.
[0084] Figures 13 to 20 An exemplary assembly process for the baffle profile on the top plate 3 of furniture element 12 is shown in a single step.
[0085] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, first place the adapter 6 on the top side of the top plate 3 with the corresponding orientation and fix it.
[0086] Subsequently, as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the connector 7 and retaining element 9 are installed on the adapter 6, which is mounted at the front corner of the top plate 3, and the profile element 19 is fixed to its bottom side.
[0087] After that, as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the two baffle profiles 5 are fitted onto the adapter 6.
[0088] Then the assembly of the profile component baffle 15 is carried out, such as... Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown.
